IMI Supports Local Make-A-Wish Chapter

IMI launched a corporate social responsibility initiative with a donation-matching program for the local Make-A-Wish chapter of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

IMI launched a corporate social responsibility initiative with a donation-matching program for the local Make-A-Wish chapter of Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

For the next two months, IMI will promote the link to the Franklin County Truck Convoy donation page on its website and social media pages. From now until August 19, each donation that mentions “IMI” in the comment box will be matched 100%.

IMI President and CEO Robert Fogal, Jr. said, “It’s a privilege for our company to play a role in our local Make-A-Wish chapter’s Truck Convoy. We want to make a positive difference in people’s lives that extends beyond the walls of our business, so we appreciate this opportunity to contribute in some small way to helping make a child’s dream come true.”

Last year, the Franklin County Truck Convoy featured more than 10 big rigs and was able to raise more than $30,000. All the money raised supported wishes for children in Franklin County with life-threatening illnesses. In addition to the trucks, this year will be the first year a motorcycle convoy will also be included.

The event will feature a number of food vendors, kids’ activities, raffles, and will take place at the Twin Bridges Tractor Show Grounds in Chambersburg, Pa. on Saturday, August 19. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and the truck convoy begins at 10:30 a.m.
